    [Myth in a Minute]

    Young Prometheus had a complicated relationship with liver.

    Eating his liver at mealtime did indeed make him smart. But that smartness later got him into big trouble with Zeus. Long story short: Tied down to a mountain rock, his own liver would be devoured by an eagle, then grow back overnight, only to be eaten again the next day in an ongoing cycle.

    By the way — Nobody ever ever thought to ask the eagle its opinion about this monotonous diet.

    Mmm…liver – nicely medium rare, with sides of bacon, onions and mashed potatoes!

    When my wife cooks herself liver and onions, I go alone to the local burger joint,

    I don’t think it’s possible to eat your liver and survive.
